github.com - OMArk is a software for proteome (protein-coding gene repertoire) quality assessment. It provides measures of proteome completeness, characterizes the consistency of all protein coding genes with regard to their homologs, and identifies the presence...
bioinformatics.oxfordjournals.org - An ultra–high-performance protein–protein docking software for heterogeneous supercomputers
Summary: The application of protein–protein docking in large-scale interactome analysis is a major challenge in structural bioinformatics...
Huge amounts of genotype data are being produced with recent technological advances, both from increasingly comprehensive and inexpensive genome-wide SNP microarrays and from ever more accessible whole-genome and whole-exome sequencing methods
Prioritizing missense variants for further experimental investigation is a key challenge in current sequencing studies for exploring complex and Mendelian diseases. A large number of in silico tools have been employed for the task of...
